“The Trump Administration has made no secret of its disdain for government regulations, and the airline industry is now reportedly hoping the U.S. Transportation Department will eliminate a number of rules designed to protect passengers.

That agency has become more pro-consumer in recent years, adopting several rules that try to rein in perceived airline abuses and deceptive practices. So now the airline industry is hoping to turn the tide.

According to a summary in The Wall Street Journal, here are some of the rules that airlines hope will be overturned:

A regulation that gives consumers a 24-hour grace period after making a booking, during which they can cancel the reservation with no penalty. Without that rule, consumers could be charged a fee for canceling or changing a reservation, even if they made a mistake in booking it.”
